Gowardhan Sweets launches TVC and DVC campaign
Mumbai – Parag Milk Foods Ltd. has announced the launch of its festive campaign featuring a new TVC and DVC for its Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai range. This premium range of sweets will be promoted through the film, which aired across all channels, marking the Dussehra celebration. This campaign emphasises the brand’s commitment to purity and quality, following a successful pilot earlier this year in Pune, Nashik, and Ahmednagar, which is now expanding to multiple regions across India.
The festive season typically brings a surge in sweet consumption, with pre-festive sales showing a 55 per cent increase. The traditional packaged Indian sweets market was valued at Rs 6,000-7,000 crore in 2023. However, as demand peaks, consumers increasingly worry about the quality and purity of the sweets they purchase due to the heightened risk of adulteration.
The core message of the TVC, “Na bhakti me na bhog me na mithai me, milavat kahi bhi nahi honi chahiye”, highlights the importance of purity in every aspect of life—whether in devotion, offerings, or food. The commercial beautifully showcases a traditional pooja thali being set up, followed by the delicious Gowardhan Khushiyan sweets—Kaju Katli, Kesar Pedha, Malai Pedha, and Kaju Pista Roll—being generously made with pure Gowardhan Ghee, symbolising the authenticity and purity of these festive delicacies. The film concludes with the line, “This season bring home the purity of Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai,” urging consumers to choose sweets made with shatpratishat shuddh (100% pure) ingredients.
There is an increasing demand for transparency and purity in food, especially during the festive season when families celebrate with sweets,” said Parag Milk Foods Ltd executive director Akshali Shah. “Reports of adulterated mithai have raised concerns, and our latest campaign aims to address this by emphasizing our commitment to quality. We are proud to introduce Khushiyan Mithai, crafted with 100% pure Gowardhan Ghee, ensuring sweets that are not only delicious but also safe for consumption. As the festivities draw near, we offer a premium selection that upholds the highest standards of purity, allowing families to celebrate with purity. For us, purity is not a luxury but a standard that should be upheld, especially in our cherished traditions.”
“We understand the deep emotional connection Indians have with sweets, especially during festivals,” added BelieveTrinity founder Samarth Shrivastava, the agency behind the new campaign. “Many times, we are unsure whether the Mithai that we buy has been made with 100% pure ingredients, our campaign assures consumers that with Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai, they’re bringing home not just sweets, but a promise of purity and tradition.
The TVC and DVC are now live and will be aired across regional TV channels and digital platforms in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Delhi NCR, reaching the right target audience The film is also available for viewers nationwide on YouTube.
Consumers can conveniently purchase Gowardhan khushiya Mithai through major online platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, and quick-commerce services like Blinkit in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Delhi NCR, making it easier to bring the taste of pure celebration home this festive season.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
